High-waisted jeans, otherwise known as disco jeans can be super flattering for your body shape, should you have the right style tricks.

By elongating your pins, shrinking your waist and highlighting your best features, this super flattering style is perfect for any shape or size.

They can hide love handles and belly bulges and generally make us stand a little taller too. Plus you don’t get the dreaded muffin top or builder’s bottom – all huge pluses when it comes to come wearing jeans.

Disco jeans should be part of any woman’s wardrobe and here’s how to wear them.

How to wear disco jeans

Keep tops fairly simple

By this we mean avoid tops will lots of volume, getting the balance right when wearing high waisted skinny jeans can be tricky, of course a little volume can help balance out the look, but don’t go overboard with ruffles and volume otherwise you’ll just look top heavy and as though you’re trying to hide a growing baby bump.

Try a crop top

Depending on whether you’re trying to keep things covered up, trying a crop top could be a simple way of showing a little bit of skin when wearing your disco jeans.

Play with proportions

We love to pair long jackets, sleeveless styles work just as well too, with high-waisted jeans. It’s advised that you avoid short, bulky jackets as they’ll just create a boxy shape and make the waist look wider than it is.

Wear them at the natural waist

Your natural waistline, the narrowest part of the torso, is where all high-waisted pants should sit because it’s the most flattering. If you’re more straight up and down, having the pants sit here will also give you more of an hourglass shape and help cinch that waist.

Darker colours will make legs look leaner

If you're worried about the size of your legs, just remember that dark coloured jeans will help your legs look leaner, creating a more flattering silhouette when wearing your disco jeans.
